What is the result of the comparison var_dump(0 == ‘php’);?

Accepted Answer

When comparing an integer to a non-numeric string using the loose comparison operator (==), PHP converts the string to an integer. The string 'php' does not start with a numeric value, so it is converted to 0. Thus, 0 == 0 evaluates to true.
